________________
The Black family entered therapy seeking answers to long-standing relationship problems. With their permission, the sessions were recorded and combined with the therapist’s commentary in this extraordinary book.
A Family in Therapy is a first-hand account of one family’s attempt to heal. As their sessions progress and more issues surface, the book unfolds to offer a rare insight into family therapy. The role of the therapist is closely examined, both by experts and the therapist himself. invited commentaries
In spite of their unusually severe difficulties, the therapy unfolds like an everyday story and can be understood by all and read on many levels.
In 2000, a second edition entitled The Answer Within was published, featuring updated and expanded commentary, revised in light of changes in family therapy practice.
